REEEEEEEEEEEE

Hey, you forgot something.

Is YuGiOh even worth getting into if you've never played it before or haven't seen the show?

I fucking miss playing old school yugioh. I stopped playing when synchro was a thing. I hear it is just ridiculous now with all the broken cards.

At this point, not really. I'm a nostalgiafag though so I don't think YGO is even the same game I used to play anymore.

*tanks everything*

I'd say no. It's a fun as fuck card game and no other game lets you do such jank shit in the tournament format. Most all LGS have tournaments too.
But the game is largely considered to be in a dying state right now and it's a pretty poor financial decision to invest into something dying.
The cause of it is konami the makers just jewing the fuck out of the game for years and making mechanics out of left field that no one asked for. Also HUGE power creep problem, your cards won't be banned in 3 years but they also won't stand a chance against the new shit.

This is coming from a judge who also played competitively for a very long time.

>At this point, not really.
How come? I like the artwork. That's mostly it, though. Never actually played a trading card game in my life, except for maybe Uno.

Like video games getting patches and expansions, card games evolve too.

Just play the video games desu. Especially Duelists of the Roses

if you're playing lower tier decks against other lower tier decks the game is great fun. the meta is hit or miss, the current format is fucking awful but some formats are great to play. wait for a few months until links before you drop money on the game though

If you want to give it a try, download YGOPro rather than buying cards irl. It'll save you money, and you can fuck around with old decks against the AI.

It's also fully automated so you don't have to know the in-depth rulings of each card, just play it and the program will know what it does.

Ok, so I downloaded YGOPro, but what the actual fuck it going on? I'm spectating some games and every match goes by so quickly.

>Duel Links
>Paradox Bothers event
>At level 50 they start the duel with Gate Guardian in play
>At level 30 they start with Labyrinth Tank and immediately summon Jirai Gumo

How do you deal with this, particularly against Gate Guardian?

I use Relinquished and Mirror Wall.

But its not dying. Last I checked tournament attendance was going up and the blatant nostalgia pandering as of late has more than helped the game grow even more.

*attacks your dick*

thats completely normal at this point

the legendary decks sold quite well I suppose

it's like the guys at konami walked into the DDR studio and grabbed a name off their shelf. next we'll have blue eyes MAX 300 dragon and blue eyes DEAD END white dragon or some shit.
